Imagine you we’re an insane billionaire with the ability to launch objects into say a lunar distance orbit. It wouldn’t require a lot of cold gas to drop some rods onto any spot on earth, and it would be undetectable until the explosion happens.
As space becomes easier to access the risk increases exponentially.
- jacquesm 4y agoWell, fortunately we don't have any insane billionaires with the ability to launch stuff into orbit... /s
- lambdadmitry 4y agoIt would require quite a lot of it because you need to significantly change the orbit, especially if you want it to still be plenty fast on impact. And it doesn't make much sense either. A billionaire can just pay a few millions to send a guy in a car bomb or a cessna full of explosives. It's way simpler and just as undetectable until the explosion happens.
